Target installation apparatus

Abstract

There is provided a target installation apparatus. A rod-shaped member is capable of being arranged to extend in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle ahead of or behind the vehicle, and is provided with a target point indicating an installation position of the target. A reference member is formed such that reference points are positioned on left and right outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle. A connection unit connects the rod-shaped member and the reference member such that a distance from the reference point to the target point in the front-and-rear direction satisfies a predetermined condition.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A target installation apparatus for installing an aiming target of equipment mounted on a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
 a rod-shaped member that is configured to be capable of being arranged to extend in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle ahead of or behind the vehicle, and is provided with a target point indicating an installation position of the target; and 
 a reference member that is formed such that reference points are positioned on left and right outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle; and 
 a connection unit that connects the rod-shaped member and the reference member such that a distance from the reference point to the target point in the front-and-rear direction satisfies a predetermined condition, wherein 
 the connection unit includes
 a set of first connection members that connect the rod-shaped member and the reference member on left and right outer sides of the vehicle when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle, and 
 a set of second connection members that extend from the left and right outer sides of the vehicle toward a center in the vehicle width direction to connect the rod-shaped member and the reference member when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the reference member includes
 a set of reference point forming units in which the reference points are formed, and 
 a rod-shaped positioning unit that is provided to connect a set of the reference point forming units and performs positioning of the reference point forming units with respect to the vehicle by abutting on a tire of the vehicle, from a side opposite to a side where the rod-shaped member is located, when the rod-shaped positioning unit is arranged with respect to the vehicle. 
 
 
     
     
       3. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the reference point forming units are adjustable to position a set of the reference points on a line connecting centers of left and right tires of the vehicle and at an equal distance from a center line extending in a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle. 
 
     
     
       4. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein, when the rod-shaped member is arranged with respect to the vehicle, the rod-shaped member is connectable to the first connection member at a plurality of positions on each of left and right sides of the vehicle, the plurality of positions having different distances, in the vehicle width direction, from the center line extending in the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle. 
     
     
       5. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the positioning unit is formed in a divisible manner, and is capable of sandwiching an extending member corresponding to a size, in a vehicle width direction, of the vehicle which is an aiming target. 
     
     
       6. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first connection member and the second connection member include a wire. 
     
     
       7. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the reference member includes common attachment units, on left and right sides, to which the first connection member and the second connection member are attached. 
     
     
       8. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the rod-shaped member includes a common attachment unit to which, when the reference member is arranged with respect to the vehicle, the set of second connection members is attached on an extension line of a center line extending in the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle. 
     
     
       9. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein an extension member extending at a predetermined angle with respect to the rod-shaped member is attachable to the rod-shaped member. 
     
     
       10. The target installation apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein each of a set of the first connection members extends in parallel with a center line extending in a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle to connect the rod-shaped member and the reference member.
